Triangles show mean scores for 3 dilutions of C18JH "extracted" and assayed according to the procedures in Methods (9 ± 1 assay larvae per point). was similar to that observed in the original pigmentation assay utilizing neck- ligated wild-type larvae (Truman et al., 1973) in that the larval cuticle appeared hormone application. Dose-response relations ]or juvenile hormones Figure 2 shows the mean scores obtained for different doses of C16- and C18JH. The lines drawn through each set of points are the least squares lines calculated by regression of individual scores onto the logic hormone dose. The correlation :oefficients (R == and R = for CIS- and C16JH, respectively) indicate that these lines well represent the experimental data. As expected from results m other Manduca JH assays (Nijhout and Riddiford, 1974; Riddiford and Ajami, 1973), C16JH is considerably less active than C1SJH. In spite of a nearly 200-fold difference in the activities of these two hormones, the slopes of their respective.
